Sometimes those skeleton knights & warriors do have remains that persist, in the cave required to get the key for the juju location, in a very similar fashion.

Juju Zombie Champions have a high likelihood to leave behind persistent corpses through area resets; this likely contributes to bad server performance impacts, though it might ultimately be negligible.

I'll set their equipment to be undroppable, which should help mitigate that.

I'm not sure if that's the root cause; you'd know more about how that functions, but compared to the Skeletal Knights etc which all have droppable equipment, their remains don't persist through area resets. Juju Zombie Champions leave behind the 'pile of bones' lootable remains item across area resets, to be more specific in the problem

Would it be possible to add/extend the area of the front gate of the Red Academy so that the gate door doesn't open right on top of the transition? It's hard to control the NPCs to get out, especially given how buggy the gate is.

A woman in the uniform of a de Courcillon retainer spreads word throughout the Dementlieuse and Borcan camps that Capitaine de Courcillon has called for a muster of troops not immediately engaged in their duties to present themselves at the Dementlieuse camp.

Narcissa's life was full of many lessons, and she embraced each one, in due time.
As she walked the Hazlani lands searching for those wild cotton shrubs, she began to think to herself. Perhaps this was another lesson that she was being taught. She had learned to look beyond herself, she had learned what it was like to be tricked and what it was like to love. Her curiosity was being tempered too by the group she had joined to delve into the historical ruins of her home. So why wouldn't her affair with that other Halan be one as well?

While her hands pulled the fibers free from the plant, she mused over the possibilities of this potential lesson. Could it be a lesson in forgiveness? Perhaps in acceptance? Accepting that there may be many a thing in her life that she would never understand. Accepting that there would be many things she would never know. Accepting that what another persons says or does is not her responsibility. But then, whose would it be? She wondered to herself as she filled the pouch with fibers.

Accept that it may never be known.
Accept that it is out of your hands.

Yes, surely that was it. Acceptance. It must be the lesson she was being taught. Narcissa thought back to the creation story in her bag. The original 13 got envious of each other and began to fight. But it was not until they almost destroyed themselves that Hala intervened. Life was as complicated as the chaos it was woven from, and Narcissa was beginning to understand this. This last half year had given the young sheltered city girl many lessons and opportunities to learn. She enjoyed each one, the new challenges she was presented with, the new things she got to see and learn. Even the pain.

Narcissa appreciated all of these things. For in her understanding better, she felt that she could better aid those in suffering. If she walked in their path, she would learn about them. Understand them and be able to help them. She wanted to do what it would take to learn how to be better. She knew she had made mistakes, and as Sister Amelia had pointed out, mistakes are prime examples of a chance to learn and to improve.

Narcissa smiled to herself. That was right, a mistake was a chance to improve. A chance to accept a flaw or a failure and strive to make it better. To not repeat the same mistake, and be able to guide others with the knowledge she gained from her own mistakes.

Perhaps, this lesson of acceptance, was also in accepting that not everyone would be her friend. That not everyone would like her. She could succumb to the woe of this notion, or she could rise above it and accept it.

And so, as she filled her bags with cotton, wool and flax fibers, she headed back to her home, ready to seek the aid of her sisters in her lesson, and learn to accept and let go. Sometimes there were things better left unanswered. Some truths better left unknown, and some people better off forgotten.

After all, the path of least suffering applied to those who chose to walk it too.

I was finally ready to speak with her today and I tried. I can forgive all that she has done except the lie. I struggle with that one, I understand why she would be upset at how I did not speak with her or the others, I understand that she did not approve of my choice. I can forgive these things, and even her sharing my personal choice with others without my consent. I can forgive those mistakes, but the lie... Why would she lie? And about that?

What did I do to her that she wont speak with me? What mistake did I make this time? How did I further push her away?

More so, what do I do when there is someone with an issue who will not speak with me to solve it. What do I do in this situation? I want to make it right with her, very much so.

I'm also worried about her. Whatever happened recently to her, she seems to have lost her sight again. At least she seems to have that elf lady for a friend, perhaps her new friend will help her adjust to her new loss of sight.

I've begun to notice something, since things have ended with Benedikte, other people have shown me kindness and even given me flowers. I may of loved him deeply and part of my heart will always be his, but I can see how he neglected me. How he could of treated me better, made better choices. I was the happiest I ever was with him, now I just have to figure out how to find that joy again. Because as much as I want to believe otherwise, he will never be mine.

Pluth has also felt saddened. I mean Benedikte was the other person who helped save him, helped nurse him back to health. The luster of his feathers has faded a little, and he has spent more time in hiding than ever before. But I do like how he comes to me when I cry. Pluth is such a sweet bird, I guess I was lucky to encounter Pluth.

Whispers in the Shadows / Restoration at Raduta Keep

It is seen that Alan Hunter is more prominent by the keep. The call for woodsman and crafters bybthr church answered as he can be seen working in restoring the fountain, providing children of the church wooden toys, game sets, books, and wven a piano inside the halls. It seemed he worked non-stop for several days till a summon was brought to his attention and he left by morning post haste swiftly through the woods to Vallaki.

Bug Reports / Re: Emote Interactivity Causing VFX Breaks

« Last post by BraveSirRobin on January 27, 2023, 05:11:10 PM »

Fairly certain it's because the parrot is anchored to the body, and the other wearable VFXs are anchored to the head, which NWN treats differently. I'm not sure how many other VFXs attach to the body rather than the head, however. That's why when your character's head turns with a mask or hat VFX, it turns naturally with it, but the parrot will not turn with your character's head. Likewise, this is why robe model hats do not turn with the character's head except in scripted emotes, because it is anchored with the body due to how NWN handles robes. If NWN allowed robes to also cover and mesh with the head's free-look then it would be possible to have the Cavalier/Wizard Hat robe models turn with the head naturally, instead of relying on the VFX model to do it.
